Hi, if you want to resort to eval you can define your own function on the fly.
(defn call-fn [& args] {:arglists ([class method & args])} (let [o (gensym) [class method & args] (map symbol args)] (eval `(fn [~o ~@args] (. ~(with-meta o {:tag class}) (~method ~@args)))))) user=> (set! *warn-on-reflection* true) true user=> (def f (call-fn "java.io.File" "renameTo" "dest")) #'user/f user=> (f (java.io.File. "foo") (java.io.File. "bar")) false Kind regards Meikel -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
